Argentine international targeted by Man United close to Everton deal

Now after just six months it seems that the midfielder will be making the trip to the Premier League, but not to Old Trafford.

The Sun claims that struggling Everton are set to break the bank to beat off competition from France and Spain in the former Sevilla midfielder who has not been a hit in Milan this term.

Ronald Koeman has decent financial backing now, and will go all out for Banega to bring a real touch of class to a midfield which sometimes can look slow and workmanlike.

Manchester United will be kicking themselves, especially as Banega was available on a free this summer. If the move to Everton goes through at the price it is rumoured to be costing them, Inter will have made an £8m profit on a player who has been with them just 6 months.
